I wasn't going to add this motif to the challenge, but then I realized that it was my first time using Josephine knots so I decided that I would add it. :) So....motif #7 is Kincir from Tatting with Rings by Jon Yusoff.

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze.

Next, is just another bangle bracelet dreamcatcher. A friend asked if I could tat her a dreamcatcher and I said I would. She wanted red and blue, but I only had this quilting thread which I asked her if it would do and she said yes. So, here is the red, white, and blue dreamcatcher.

Well, a couple weeks ago I asked for some help here: http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2014/02/could-use-some-assistance-from-some.html , and some fabulous tatters came and offered advice and help. I was so thankful and have really worked at this. The solution was to use 2 shuttles, and to make the bottom center ring a SSSR(single shuttle split ring) so that the thread would end up in the correct position to start to next chain. Also, I have decided that the last ring in the back needs a change in the pattern because it seems as though it should be 8ds, instead of the 4p4 as with all the other large rings on top, then it will resemble the first large ring on top and won't have a picot hanging out there oddly. I may attempt again, but have decided this will take far longer than I have to complete an edging right now. :)

The second is from the book Tina Frauberger Schiffchenspitze 1921 pg. 47 bottom design (only the first 4 rounds). Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash and Navy Blue with multi-colored beads placed inside the rings.

And...just to use up the navy thread on the shuttle I tatted(not very well) Kerosang from Tatting with Rings by Jon Yusoff. I used the same beads as in the rings of the suncatcher above(not a pretty mix, but I used them anyway).
